Short review: Good times. Very well organized and good job on flooring the tents and therefore reducing the dust to almost zero. The food choices were amazing. The shrimp teriyaki balls were absolutely delicious. I liked that the Sunday School tent was bigger but the decor seemed cheap. Last year felt more intimate but was also the most dusty tent. Overall, a great event but I still can't justify the admission cost.

Also, placing Digweed on the mainstage between Sander van Doorn and Above & Beyond was just stupid. He had a great set but the vibe on the mainstage was just not working for me.

I know it's probably late to say this but my friend purchased a 3 day pass off Craigslist a day before the event and it turned out to be fake. He even compared it to my wristband and seemed legit. When he came to the gate, it wouldn't ring. The crazy part was that as he was leaving, he found the kid standing with his group of friends and the Zoo and my friend reported him to the police. They made him give my friend his money back.

My favorite performers: Chris Liebing and Nicolas Jaar.

that track has sooo many non trance elements in it plus now it has that high synth melody (euro dance via 1995) sound ughhh
people still label it as a trance track which really grinds my gears

dirty south played an arty track. not sure which one but it's a big proof that so many artists labeled as trance doesn't even produce trance.

That Depeche mode remix is hot.

I walked into hilltop when that was on and started going nuts.

BTW, I see jean michel jarre influence in this... or maybe its just me.

Yes, JMJ, the old school electronic music...

Wtf, why didn't Simon spin any of his tracks? Lameee

"Interesting" review from the NY Times. LOL @ their description of trance music being exactly what we heard from many "trance DJ's" this weekend.....eek!

Anyways, props to Ferry and Sander for getting positive reviews....good to see the usual "harsh critics" of major newspapers speaking positively about someone else besides Guetta or Armin.

1000000% Carl Cox. NO comparison for me. Total destruction, mastery, and one of the best sets I have heard in years.

I have a hard time picking between Ferry, Sander and Tyas/Patterson for my fav trance set, because I loved them all equally for totally different reasons.

Best "moment" Gui Boratto

Best set, first track to last, R E B O O T

Posted by Neonbeats on Sep-07-2011 03:29:

Was anyone at Ultra last and this year? How did this year's Ezoo compare?

This was probably the best weekend of the year for me so far...

I'm astonished at how many people are saying that Gui Boratto was their best set of the day, even the weekend. I thought it was all over the place in terms of flow, and I've seen him before.

Oh, and mine is between Ida Engberg and Dubfire. I missed a lot of Carl while over at Richie, so I only caught a short portion.

Oh, and Reboot was much better than last year. He bored me there.

Boys Noize. Pretty intensive set, liked it a lot. The visuals were pretty wicked.

Finally had some time to catch up on my sleep and get some needed rest from 4 days of dancing.

Electric Zoo was so much better than last year. Maybe because they push backed the main stage it did feel less crowded or maybe because tickets prices were so high. But in either case I never felt that I couldn't move anywhere.

If any tent needs to be expanded it has to be the Sunday School tent.

In terms of sets, it seems from what I was hearing and the conversations I had that the sets that tended to be favorites for people were the ones that people were calling an "Ibiza Set". Not sure if this meant that they played less of the popular house tracks or just the overall feel of the music/crowd together. If that was the case, the Sunday School tent did have an Ibiza feel the entire weekend.

In terms of sets, Carl Cox hands down, set of the year for me. I never danced so much in my life.

This was followed by:

Dubfire
Richie Hawtin(both sets)
Chris Lebing
Loco Dice (the perfect set up set for Carl Cox)

Infected Mushroom had the craziest visuals. I've known of them but was never into psy before. We popped our heads in for a minute and were really digging the vibe in there. I'll have to try to check them out for real next time I get a chance.

And I agree, Gui could have had better flow. I've never heard a set of his before, but follow his productions closely. It was just great to hear them all live back to back. I felt that way about Dusty Kid when I finally saw him. He was my favorite producer at the time but I thought his set flow kind of sucked. I'd rather be a great producer and have to work on my mixing than being a good DJ who can't write a hit.

I'll have to listen to this Cox set. I walked in and didn't see what all the fuss was about. In the past his sound has always drivin me kind of nuts. I thought it would be better live but...

I actually felt the same way about Dusty Kid last year, too. I really like his Essential Mix, but I thought his set last year at EZ was lackluster, too. It was also all over the place, IMO. That's actually a very good comparison from year to year. Even when he did Paradise Circus, I was disappointed because it didn't fit and the transition in was weird.

Oh fuk they got merged? I was in Miami so I missed out but interested in reviews for Reboot on Day 2. He played in Miami and I swear - I am in love! I know he played the Acoustic mix of Noir & Haze - Around (sexxxy). Limit to your love - the infamous closer song at Ezoo and he even dropped Crystal Waters - 100% pure love - in Miami. What did u guys hear? Is it recorded? I need moar Reboot in my life!
